Four Hundred and Ninety-Fourth Manchester United Retired!

The first round was 1-1 away, and the second round was at home. Knowing that the opponent must score a goal, how should the home team start?

The answer given by Ferguson is, rush to attack!

From the moment the whistle sounded, he launched an attack without hesitation.

Taking advantage of the advantage of the home court, the momentum of the fans at the scene, and various favorable conditions, they seized the initiative of the game from the very beginning, disrupted the opponent's deployment and strategy, and strived to further expand the advantage as much as possible.

At the beginning, Manchester United directly accelerated the pace of the game.

how fast

Just six seconds later, Cristiano Ronaldo sprinted into Napoli's goal, forcing Handanovic to drive forward as all of his exits were blocked by United.

The big foot drove to the front court, Vidic headed back, and the two sides fought in the Naples half.

Soon, Manchester United created the first shot of the audience.

How much time did it take?

Fifty-seven seconds!

This shot failed to pose a threat, but it didn't matter, Manchester United continued to suppress and vowed to die.

...

When the game lasted for a minute and a half, Gao Shen had already realized Manchester United's determination and strategic intentions.

He quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

Do you want to continue to fight Manchester United to the end? Or stabilize the defense first?

In less than two minutes, Gao Shen walked to the sidelines and signaled to the players to retreat and hold on!

Thiago Motta, Biglia, Bonucci, David Luiz and others, even the goalkeeper Handanovic, saw the profound gesture, and the Naples players immediately retreated.

Gao Shen gave up the opening confrontation with Manchester United and turned to defense.

At the same time, Gao Shen reminded Bonucci.

The side of Evra, Anderson and Rooney played more actively at the beginning, especially Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney, who frequently wanted to hit Bonucci.

everyone knows

Bonucci is a weak point in Naples' defense in terms of one-on-one defense, so Manchester United wants to make a fuss about this.

So after the opening, Ronaldo deliberately pulled David Luiz to the right and asked Rooney to insert Bonucci.

Thiago Motta did a good job defending in time, and Lichtsteiner's tackle was also in place.

In the third minute, Manchester United once again cooperated in a small area on the left side of the front court.

Evra and Rooney attracted the attention of the defense, and Anderson suddenly caught the ball and inserted it, but was successfully tackled by Biglia who followed up in time, destroying a threatening rib attack by Manchester United in time.

Gao Shen applauded vigorously on the sidelines for the performance of the players on the field.

"They did a good job," Zidane praised with a smile.

"The forty-five minutes against Inter Milan was very rewarding." Gao Shen said with a smile.

In that half of the game, Naples' defense withstood the test of Inter Milan's double center and strong attack.

Although Mourinho's ability to train defense is not good, Inter Milan's offensive lineup and offensive firepower are still very fierce.

Under the attack of Inter Milan, Naples defended the game, but also exposed a lot of problems. The coaching staff solved and improved in time, which allowed the team to stabilize their position and block Manchester United's attack.

"To be honest, Ferguson is also cunning and cunning. He knew that we must score goals and that we would attack, so he took the lead and wanted to disrupt our deployment and rhythm." Zidane also sincerely admired it.

Ferguson's use of troops is still very decisive and sophisticated.

"But tonight, our response and adjustments were also very timely." Carlo laughed beside him.

While speaking, his eyes turned to Gao Shen, showing a hint of appreciation.

Manchester United's attack was very resolute, but Naples' adjustment was also quite decisive.

This proves that Gao Shen has indeed stepped out of Ferguson's shadow.

Zidane nodded, and he also heard what Carlo meant.

In fact, he can understand Gao Shen's mood.

The whole world knows that his idol is the Uruguayan star Enzo Franciscoli. For this reason, he even named his eldest son Enzo, just to express his admiration for the idol.

But he was born at the wrong time.

When Francescoli was shining in Ligue 1, Zidane was still working hard in the youth team. He often took a two-hour car ride from Cannes to Marseille to watch his idol play, and just sat in the stands to watch him After the game, he will also use his game video to imitate his movements.

To some extent, Francescoli has profoundly influenced Zidane's playing style and aesthetics.

But it is a pity that when he debuted, Francescoli had already left Italy.

When Zidane moved to Juventus in 1996, Francescoli returned to Argentina as early as 1994.

But the ingenious arrangement of fate is here. Before Zidane joined Juventus, the Bianconeri won the Champions League, and the Argentine River Plate won the Copa Libertadores. The two teams met in the Toyota Cup by accident.

Zidane clearly remembers that before the game, when he saw his idol, he was shaking with excitement, and even in the game, he did not perform very well, although in the 81st minute, he assisted the skin Hierro scored the winning goal, but he was still not satisfied with his performance.

After the game, he exchanged jerseys, signed autographs and took photos with Francisco Li.

"Actually, I can understand Gao's mood and his change." Zidane said with emotion.

Later, when he became famous and became the idol of countless people, he gradually weakened this idol complex, but by that time, he was already old.

Carlo glanced at Zidane, but he didn't expect that he would think of so many past events in his mind at this moment.

...

Manchester United attacked several times in a row, but found that none of them worked.

The Red Devils were constantly going forward, and most of the game was played in the Napoli half-court or near the half-way line.

This kind of high-position pressing and oppression gave Manchester United an advantage, but as a Serie A team, Naples also defended very steadily.

"This kid retreated in time!" Ferguson couldn't help but praise.

"After arriving in Italy, his defensive skills have improved. He is very layered and flexible, which is good."

Manchester United tried to hit Bonucci on several occasions, but it didn't work.

Ronaldo first pulled to the right, and later saw that his teammates could not penetrate Bonucci, so he simply joined in, often leaning to the left, or simply pulling to the left, but Naples' defense also reacted quickly.

This made Manchester United's attack look loud, but failed to create a threat.

Ferguson shook his head and sighed helplessly when he saw Ronaldo take another long shot from the outside and miss it.

Almost ten minutes later, Manchester United shot seven shots. Ronaldo kicked five shots by himself, and none of them were on target.

Ferguson gradually lost his relaxed posture.

Can be relaxed because he has no pressure.

With pressure, who can relax?

Besides, after ten minutes of attacking, will Manchester United continue?

Gao Shen is now kicking the ball back to Ferguson.

Judging from the current situation, Manchester United's opening attack did not achieve its goal, or all of its goals.

At least there were no goals, and the offense lacked threats. It did not form an effective blow to Naples.

And all of this is because Gao Shen reacted quickly enough to retreat in time.

Naples is not chaotic, if Manchester United withdraws, the Serie A team will definitely take the initiative to press out, what will Manchester United do then?

But if you don't retreat, the gap behind you is a bit big. Once you are hit behind you, the situation will be very dangerous.

Tonight, Manchester United's midfield position is actually a regular triangle, with Anderson at the front, Carrick and Fletcher at the back, so the overall formation is a bit biased towards 4231, and the purpose of Anderson at the front is to limit the Thiago Motta.

After Napoli shrunk, Thiago Motta stepped back and Anderson pressed further forward, causing Manchester United to be a bit higher overall, so Carrick and Fletcher made a lot of runs.

On the other hand, Naples does not seem to be a threat, but they are looking for opportunities all the time.

Sanchez, Cavani and Di Maria are all very powerful attackers. Once they are caught and hit behind them, the situation for Manchester United will be dangerous.

In fact, Ferguson really thought about it. Once the situation is not right, just like Hiddink's Chelsea, the three midfielders lined up in front of the defense line, let Naples attack, and then concentrate on counterattack.

But this is too conservative, and the scene is too ugly.

After all, this is Old Trafford.

Thinking of this level, Ferguson didn't hesitate any longer, walked to the sidelines, and signaled to the players on the field to slow down the offensive appropriately, as the pressure was a little too high, to maintain the formation properly and pay attention to the position.

...

"Manchester United is back!" Zida felt relieved.

Once Ferguson's Manchester United goes crazy, it is really scary and frightening.

But after Gao Shen adjusted in time, Naples stabilized their position.

The scene was very passive. Since the beginning of the game, there has not been a single shot, but the defense has stabilized.

Carlo nodded, seeing Gao Shen walking back, immediately fetched a bottle of water from behind, and handed it to Gao Shen.

Gao Shen would only come back when he was thirsty to drink water, otherwise, he would always stand on the sidelines and direct.

Everyone in Naples is also used to his style.

Some players even responded that if they didn't see Gao Shen on the sidelines one day, they would be very uncomfortable and feel uncomfortable playing football.

"What now?" Zidane asked with concern.

Manchester United has retreated, it's time for Naples to work hard!

But Gao Shen shook his head, "Don't worry, stabilize first, suppress the midfielder and then exert strength."

Zidane and Carlo understood.

"Have you noticed Ronaldo? He often pulls the side tonight, why?" After Gao Shen asked, he opened the lid and gulped water.

When people are nervous, they tend to get thirsty.

"It's very simple, you can't get the ball." Zidane laughed.

But after he finished speaking, he understood what Gao Shen meant, and he also knew why Gao Shen had to be steady again.

Cristiano Ronaldo is actually not suitable to play as a center forward. His most suitable role is a scorer. This is related to his personality and his way of playing after transformation. Let him play as a center forward, but he can't play well.

But Ferguson can't help it now, let Berbatov play, Ronaldo can play on the left, Evra's side must be finished, play on the right, Wes Brown was fine before, and O'Shea is also in trouble now.

Whichever side he plays, the midfielder on that side will have to take on more defensive tasks, which will greatly affect the team's midfielder.

So, Ferguson pushed him to the center.

But the effect is not ideal.

Is there a way around this?

Have.

A midfielder is added, so Manchester United introduced Hargreaves.

but……

"Wait a minute, it's our turn soon!"

After Gao Shen finished speaking with a smile, he put down the empty water bottle, turned around and walked back to the sidelines.
